The newest creation from Paula Lambert, author of The Cheese Lover's Cookbook and founder of the Mozzarella Company is this luxurious Burrata. Their burrata is made in the style of Burrino in Northern Italy. It is a fresh Italian-style cow's milk cheese made by completely encasing a soft, creamy lump of sweet cream butter with soft, fresh mozzarella. Its name comes from its buttery center: burro means butter in Italian. It is a seductive cheese.

To make this burrata, the Mozzarella Company churns fresh cream to make sweet butter, then stretch cheese curds to make mozzarella. The mozzarella is hand-formed around a one-ounce piece of butter to conceal a soft, creamy center inside the burrata. Each and every step is done by hand. Finally the burrata is briefly immersed in brine before it is wrapped in parchment paper and packaged. The flavor is fresh, milky, and buttery.

Regret having to write a negative review but hope to prevent others from making the same mistake I did. Burrata burro is not the usual burrata. Perhaps it was just a bad batch but I found it inedible and threw out both
packages ordered. Regular burrata by BelGioioso was excellent, as has been every other item I have ordered from igourmet.

YUCK!

I thought this was just awful. Like eating a glob of lard.
No flavor at all. Had to waste it.

Unique and special

I have only ever had Paula Lamberts version of this "burrino". I am a butter lover and i think the combo here is just right. Let it come to full room temperature before eating

Burrata

This just wasn't as creamy as the Burrata that we became used to during our living in Singapore. The upper tier italian restaurants all imported their burrata from Italy and they were superior to this, the center would run with the creamy taste when opened.

not the best ever

after having tasted this in Manhattan restaurants i have to tell you that i was very very disappointed. it was not fresh at all and it was not full of cream - only a little i could barely find it.
[A note from igourmet: This cheese contains a soft, creamy lump of sweet cream BUTTER(Burro), not fresh cream as Burrata alla PANNA (cream).]

Burrata Burro

If eaten cold this cheese is fairly nondescript, but if allowed to get to room temperature it is otherwordly. I will deffinitely be ordering this again

Burrata

When sliced, the interior "butter" part was dry and crumbly, not flowing cream with hunks of butter as in the Italian variety, which is impossible to ship, but the type I've had from other vendors made in San Diego was much better. I won't be ordering this again.
